Is there a way to Lable KSlider? Show note names?

Hi,

My app uses a kslider that works well, though some users request the note names. I can individually position "comments" to do this, but wonder if there might be a more effective way of doing this. Don't see anything in the help of reference, hoping you may know of a clean way to add this.

Thank you!

Wishing much Peace in your life.

Hi
if you mean physically attach labels to each key of [kslider] then your way is best (although there are other gui elements/objects, such as [pictctrl]?).

If you wish to do this dynamically then the [number] object will display MIDI note names.

yes, that's what i wanted... though a bit tedious and inexact to position each letter. would be nice if the kslider had an option to show note names on the keys.

The 'Did You Know..' series of tutorial videos has something relating to fixing/locking the size and location of objects; might help.
